Help on Countries (Click on a Flag to Expand) 30-01-2006Brief: the country calculation is based on the original IP
address of the visitor; on a country level this is 99.98% accurate,
there are several parameters that dictate this! This statistic gives you
a good indication of the country coverage of your pages and helps you to
decide if you want to concentrate on other areas to increase this
coverage, Depending on your criteria and definition of "a"
country, the current count can range anywhere from 189 to 266 countries
in the world and this statistic will show all of them on a geographic
level should you have a visitor from these areas.

Sometimes
your country statistics will show the following: Private Network These IP address
allocations fall into the following ranges 10.0.0.0 through
10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0
through 192.168.255.255

Sometimes your country statistics will
show the following: Loop Back
These IP address allocations fall into the following ranges
127.0.0.1 but can include others

Sometimes your country
statistics will show the following: Reserved These IP address allocations
have been reserved either for later use or have only very recently been
allocated for use.

Sometimes your country statistics will show
the following: Unknown This more
than often means that the IP address was blocked and was unobtainable
usually due to a firewall or software on the visitors machine or
network, some private networks also do this so those that would have
fallen into the category of 192.168.0.0 etc. were unobtainable due to a
firewall.

Important statistical update (22/06/2005)!
In order to get statistics you must check the correct boxes on initially
getting your counter, not everyone wants statistics and for this reason
we give you a choice.

updates are suspended for thirty seconds, this is a precautionary measure
to avoid conflicts, most updates are instantaneous within a few seconds
provided you are not logged on of course.

Statistics
The word (PRO) has been allocated beside certain statistics, this is
a safeguard for the future to notify you that these statistics MAY or
MAY NOT be withdrawn from the free model, everything NOT marked (PRO)
will always remain FREE! At present the new Globel build is working
out extremely efficient and we are receiving sufficient sponsorship
to support the service as it stands, if there are any changes to this
we will notify you HERE in the footer and give you at least two months
notice for any changes that MAY take place, so basically everything
is FREE until further notification.

Hit Limits
I am pleased with build 3.5 it's lightening fast and seems to handle
heavy loads like a walk in the park, many thousands of you are using
my counter now and this does not seem to phase the system at all and
with all the information it provides too! At the moment this public
counter has not been regulated for hits because of this efficiency,
which is great. However; you must also be reminded that as always we
reserve the right to remove accounts we feel are excessive for the shared
enjoyment of other users, additionally; the same applies as above dependant
on sponsorship and support.
